The TOK Project- Micah List
Founder:
The millennial entrepreneur, Micah List, was inspired to create The TOK Project during his time traveling abroad in Bangkok, Thailand. Throughout his time in Bangkok, List was a witness to the sale of sex. Not knowing that sadly the trafficking of women occurred frequently in Bangkok, his experience pushed him to the instant thought of finding hope for these innocent women.
The Motto and Mission of TOK:
The TOK Project’s motto is “DO YOUR PART”. Through this phrase, they are encouraging this generation to make the world a better place, and to ultimately make a difference. By giving 25% of their profits back to the safe homes, their main goal is to end up employing the women who have been trafficked for sex into skilled workers to eventually create their products.
“TOK Project’s mission is to create individually hand crafted fashion pieces for the fashion conscious person while helping to empower victims of commercial sex trafficking” – Micah List
Current Status:
As of now TOK is operated fully by Micah and Hannah, his sister. Through social media and word of mouth, their business is only going to continue to grow and make the world a better place. They currently are working on the process of putting sewing machines in a few safe homes all around the globe!
